Checkered designs are to have a season and checks of any sort will be popular. The simple bennet shown has little more than the patches of checkered straw to ornament it, but the effect is quite pretty and compelling. Nnte also the checkered collar. The checkered star on the hat is green and maize and the band and hat is olive green crepe.

PUBLIC GLADLY COMPLIES WITH NEW FOOD LAWS

Whole-Hearted Compliance Reported by Indiana Restaurant Men. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 16. Ready and whole-hearted public compliance with the Federal Food Administration's rules covering wheatless, meatless and porkless days is reported by hotel keepers and restaurant men in Indiana. .. . It has been demonstrated that the food purveyor who "gets in bad" i not the man who refuses to serve mat on meatless days, or wheat on wheatless days, but rather is the man who neglects to Hooverize his business in accord with the war needs of the country. William M. Fowler, a well known hotel man of Indianapolis and Terre Haute, says: "Instead of the observance of Hoover's rules being the exception among hotel patrons, the breach of the rules is the rare thing. The loyal citizen who does his part wiJl not hesitate to speak out in condemnation of any slacker in sight Tec slacker finds it advisable to lie low, not because the hotel might report him, but because of the sure displeasure, sternly voiced, of loyal citizens close at hand who are keeping a close tab on their own table conduct and on the actions of others. "The big hotels of the country have been proud to take the lend in the strict observance of meatless and wheatless days. Patrons tell us that ir. the smaller cities and towns the eatirg houses and hotels are not so strict as are the large hotels in the larger cities. The hotel patrons, pa

triotic traveling men, and the loyal ; public generally, are rapidly convert- j Ing short-sighted restaurant men and j hotel men to the Hoover idea of the ,

patriotic service plan which is to be a large factor in winning the war." Mr. Fowler says an immense saving of both meat and wheat results from the observance by his two hotels of

wheatless and meatless days, and he argues that the total of foodstuffs saved the country over is sure to be a huge and most practical item.
